Mexi is an adult female Ctenosaurus acanthura, a northeastern spinytail iguana from Mexico. She is wild-caught and not tame but not vicious, just shy and retiring. She eats mostly greens but occasionally will eat superworms and dubia roaches. She is about 2 1/2 feet long.

 

 

 

 

Lulu, the red-eared slider

Lulu, the red-eared slider

Posted on by

Lulu is a 5-inch-long red-eared slider, probably female, and around 8 years old. These creatures need a clean place to swim and a sunny place to bask and rest. They are omnivores--they eat both greens and small creatures like worms, crickets, and tiny fish or pinky mice. If given a good home, Lulu could live for another 10-12 years!
